makk Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 This is a weird crash I cant fix. When I change vehicle about 5 or 6 times (can be first time I get in a car but usually 4/5/6th time) the game freezes up and have to reboot pc. It only ever crashes just as im getting in a car. Has anyone else reported this crash and is there a way to fix it ? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Might be something to do with your radio. It's harder to tell when you don't give us a good run-down of your system, so please read the pinned topic entitled Posting Requirements. I'd fiddle with some audio options such as hardware acceleration (Start -> Run -> dxdiag, hit the Sound tab, and move the acceleration slider to a new position). Also, update your sound drivers, and if you're using user tracks (custom radio), try disabling that for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makk Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 This is my PC: • San Andreas v 1.0 (I think) • AMD Athalon XP 2000+ runs about 1.67ghz • 256mb ram • ATI chipset card Radeon 9250 • XP Service pack 2 • DirectX 9.0c • Sound blaster Audigy platinum ex The radio idea sounds logical, because when it freezes up it sounds like theres a few samples of audio being played in a loop (bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... you know). I had this problem for months, the only way I could play the game was in MTA map editor as long as I didnt change vehicle, I could get in say a turismo drive it until it was smashed up, then restart - as long as I stayed in the same type of car (with same default radio station playing?) I could play it without crashing, its only when I changed the type of car a few times it crashed/froze. Then I tried using a no dvd patch and the freezing problem just dissappeared and I could play normally !! However, a few days ago I defragged my disk and the problem came back exactly the same. My soundcard is a few years old but Ive got the latest drivers and all inputs/outputs are working fine. Same on gfx card. Im going to see if turning the radio volume to 0 will help I dont care about the radio at all anyway, music in the 90's was really crap eh? Will post back later. Ty.

makk Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Well that didnt work. I tried some other stuff too, changing soudn card settings in control panel, and acceleration in dxdiag, but nothing has worked yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
